the freakiest thing happened just now...

Ok, so I was sitting here on my laptop computer, in the La-z-boy, working on a few cover letters to send out with my resumes and playing one of the CDs I got for Christmas on my computer. I'm just bopping along, writing and updating and la de da, when all of a sudden...

...I hear this huge THUMP!!! come from the foyer-area of the house. Our foyer is tiled, so it was a huge, echo-y kind of thump. I jumped a bit and hit the "mute" button for the music on my computer. I'm thinking, "Who's there? what's going on? is there an intruder in my house?"

All this, keeping in mind that, there has been a rash of home invasions on the other side of town. Granted, those were all on the other side of town, but still...

So, crazy me, I know I have to go find out what's going on. I start looking around me for some kind of weapon to take with me. (I don't own a firearm.) In my mind I'm thinking: baseball bat, maybe some kind of heavy lamp. I find myself surrounded by things that are either small, light, or - small and light! Finally, on the floor next to me, I find my old Bop-It game:



It's fairly heavy, so I quietly set down my laptop and pick up my Bop-It game. I sneak around to the foyer and the living room on the other side of the house: clear. I check the upstairs bathrooms and bedrooms, one room at a time. I begin to resemble Detectives Benson and Stabler, from my favorite version of Law and Order - "SVU".







Upstairs was clear! Feeling a bit silly, I returned to the La-Z-Boy to write this post. Perhaps I've begun hearing things.
